Iwithsiae Update and Clovermite- Refuah (2014)

2014 has been a great year for the Iwithsiae Noise Collective. What used to be a record label and eventually died down is now picking up steam again. There have been some great releases and there are plenty more on they way including a debut from Resonance Altar, a collaboration with past and present contributors.

Refuah is the second album (not including a collab with Unto Sheol) by Philadelphia's Clovermite (also of Our Alarm Clock, Faithful Mates). Refuah means healing or medicine in Hebrew. This album sure has a therapeutic tone that seems to cleanse. The expression "Refuah Shlema" is often used to mean "get well soon", and more literally translates into "full recovery". The phrase is also used in a prayer that is commonly said for those who are ill or recovering from illness. Our world is in constant need of Refuah.
